Actually i am going to collect data from human beings for different arm postures. What i came across about validation of MMG signal is to see the amplitude (RMS) and frequency (MPF) of the signal.
Now i want to develop a program in labview software to check the validity of data immediately after recording of data.what are the essentials for this? I mean what should be the values of RMS and MPF to validate signal as MMG signal for isometric contractions?
Hi Irsa Talib,
Theoretically, in broad aspect, data validation for MMG is possible by utilizing OCT and/or EMG.
You may need to research if MMG has been validated using OCT imaging (which could be very complex because you need to set up the OCT system beside the MMG system).
Imaging a muscle by using a MRI is also possible, however, the sensors and the equipment may not be MRI-compatible which complicates the matter further.
Below is an article that indicates regular calibration of the MMG sensors and also pre-calibration before use.
Involving a procedure of a pre-calibration based on some repeatable phantom may be able to help you validate the obtained data easily. See, for example, an article that relates to similar MMG studies.
I hope that helps.

Hi Viara,
Thanks for your concern but the above uploaded article is about mechanography NOT MECHANOMYOGRAPHY. If you get some good stuff related to data validation from Mechanomyography, please do share.
